The National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences awarded a $165,744 Project Grant to The Research Foundation For The State University Of New York (RF-SUNY) to conduct collaborative research on diffusion studies in the minerals zircon and baddeleyite. The 3-year project, which runs from September 1, 2023 to August 31, 2026, aims to improve understanding of the diffusion behavior of key elements within these critical minerals. This research will provide important data to interpret...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences (CFDA 47.050 - Geosciences) supports collaborative research by Trustees of Union College in Schenectady, NY to study diffusion behavior of elements in the minerals zircon and baddeleyite. The $118,795 award, active from September 1, 2023 to August 31, 2026, will fund experiments to better understand how atoms diffuse within these important geochronometric minerals. The findings will help improve...
This $349,699 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) aims to improve the accuracy of diffusion chronometry, a technique used to determine the timing of geological events such as volcanic eruptions. The project, conducted by The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York, will study the effect of water on the diffusivity of iron and magnesium in the mineral olivine. This will involve two main efforts: 1) determining the tracer...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences award, funded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to support fundamental research to expand knowledge of the Earth system, provides $111,760 to Suffolk County Community College from September 1, 2023 to August 31, 2027. The funding will support a collaborative research project to integrate fluorspar dating and geophysical models to constrain the timing and mechanisms of the collapse of the Cordillera mountain range in...
The Research Foundation For The State University of New York was awarded a $314,560 National Science Foundation Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct research linking pyroclastic surge dynamics and deposits through integrated field data collection, multiphase numerical modeling, and experiments. The three-year award beginning June 15, 2021 will support collaborative work between foundation researchers and the State University of New York at Buffalo to advance...
The Research Foundation For The State University Of New York received a $223,744 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences. The grant was awarded on September 1, 2021 under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to support research exploring dislocation structures with conventional electron backscatter diffraction through August 31, 2023. The Geosciences program aims to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research in...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award of $578,106 to The Research Foundation for the State University of New York (RF SUNY) will advance the understanding of super-eruptions and the deposits they leave behind, known as ignimbrites. The project, which runs from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2027, will use the Peach Spring Tuff in Arizona as a case study to investigate how large-volume pyroclastic flows move and maintain high temperatures...
This National Science Foundation project grant of $249,976 supports research at Arizona State University from August 2022 through July 2025 under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The award will fund collaborative research between experimental mineral physics and computational geodynamics to advance understanding of deep Earth processes through three key pieces. First, dynamic compression experiments will measure the spin state and structure of dense iron-bearing silicate melts. Second,...
This Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $107,128 to The Research Foundation For The State University Of New York (doing business as Stony Brook University) to conduct collaborative research on the relationships between seismic and petrological Moho discontinuities and their implications for lithospheric processes. The key objectives are to: 1) characterize the seismic wave speeds above and below the seismic Moho, 2) assess the...
This Project Grant award of $476,591 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support collaborative research by the University of Utah to investigate the impacts of water content and mantle composition on melting processes in the Earth's mantle. The project will integrate high-pressure, high-temperature laboratory experiments and geochemical numerical modeling to develop the first comprehensive model for predicting the effects of water on melting a...
